Charm &c.

The 2006 edition of that standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom*, the Particle Data Group’s Review of Particle Physics, has gone live. I’ve even helped contribute to a small corner of fit space (in the form of HE 05). There is a new feature, the oddly-named pdgLive, which puts the data in HTML format, with lots of hyperlink goodness to clarify just what numbers go into the fits and point you at the papers’ SPIRES references.

* I’m not joking. Experimental particle physicists hold the PDG, as it’s called, in such high esteem that some people have set up a Flickr photo pool in honor of it.
